RTD SIDE LADDER
FORD TRANSIT

INSTRUCTION MANUAL

Thank you for purchasing the Van Cafe RTD Side Ladder. Finally gain access to the gear 

you have mounted on the top of your van - securely and comfortably! The Van Cafe RTD 

Side Ladder was designed with function in mind, but we didn't skimp on the aesthetics, 

either. 

Created in Fort Collins, Colorado, the Van Cafe Rooftop Deck system is the product of 

years of manufacturing expertise. Here at Van Cafe, we are innovators, thinkers, creators, 

doers and, most importantly, users! We love the outdoors and the idea of sharing experi-

ences and memories with our families, friends, and our customers.

As always, please reach out to us at 

[email protected]

 with any questions.
